Your Little Matter by Maria Grazia Calandrone

Your Little Matter by Maria Grazia Calandrone

A devastating story of motherhood, abandonment and the real lives of women in Sixties Italy. Non-fiction Ferrante

‘Calandrone’s new work establishes her as a high-quality novelist and a masterful storyteller of Italy in the 50s and 60s’ Franco Buffoni, Strega Prize 2023

‘An unforgettable story of a woman’s fight against violence and prejudice to find her own path in life.’ Francesca de Sanctis, Venerdi di Ripubblica

‘An incredible story, lyrically told, of the downtrodden and defeated in this world.’ Federica de Paolis, tuttolibri, La Stampa

The extraordinary book ... spent weeks on the Italian bestseller lists and was shortlisted for the country’s top literary prize, the Strega. Just as Elena Ferrante’s Naples Quartet revealed the harsh reality of life for young women in Italy’s poorer regions, Calandrone’s memoir gives an unsparing view of the brutal treatment of women in desperate times that resonated powerfully with readers.
